The International Commission
for Professional NLP

Welcome to the ICP-NLP!

In the general public the image of NLP is mainly defined through the majority
of ** and *** star providers. Legally speaking teaching is free in most
countries. For NLP courses and NLP trainers there are no legally relevant
recognized quality checks, entry criteria or disciplinary councils, as most
qualified professions working with and having responsibility for people
are proud to have them (eg. psychotherapists, dentists, opticians, architects,
surgeons, flying schools, laywers, butchers, clinical, forensic and other
regulated psychologists etc.).

So that lack of formal checks, qualifications and quality oversight in
NLP and pushy marketing drives of minimally qualified persons regretably
has led to many forms of abuse. *

On the other side professional NLP/NLPt, if trained and used correctly,
is an highly efficient concept for applied psychology and psychotherapy,
professionally based on well researched psychological findings (www.nlpt.at/r1).

Professional NLP combines models for managing the inner and the outer world.
This "self management and methodology mix" is equivalent to fitness
and techniques in many sports. Professional NLP is both cognitive/systemic/linguistic
and psychodynamic/integrative/imaginative.

Professional NLP curricula and design were started in Vienna 1986 at the
OeTZ-NLP&NLPt.
Today there are professional centers in Zagreb
and Bucarest, Poland
who are on the same high level, with several more coming soon.

An upgrade program to NLP Psychotherapy is possibile along the EANLPt
and NLPt-curricula.

* Google “the Bandler method” and you will better understand
the position mentioned above and the valid criticism towards many NLP providers
regarding missing ethics and competence. Speed seduction and pick up artist
NLP based courses are not helpful either for a public appreciation of NLP.
